Yakitori!!





Yakitori (焼き鳥/やきとり/ヤキトリ?), grilled chicken, is a Japanese type of skewered chicken.

It is made from several bite-sized pieces of chicken meat, or chicken offal, skewered on a bamboo skewer and barbecued, usually over charcoal.- Wikipedia


Yakitori makes a draft beer tastes 10 times better than it already is. This bite size Yakitori pops into your mouth so easily, and each bite takes you to the delicious birdie heaven.


I have this friend that I've known for over 20years, basically my BFF, who is getting married, him and his soon-to-be bride is having a wedding on 8/8, (get it? the eternal sign x2) How festive. So my dad since he is in the hospital right now due to his Leukemia, wanted to see them before they get married, so we all went to see him and chatted for a bit.




We were oh so hungry after we left, and the soon-to-be wife suggested we go to this Yakitori place called "Tori-kizoku" meaning ”Bird Nobility"...viva Japan.

We searched where we can find the Bird Nobility on the soon-to-be wife's phone, and believe it or not, there were 15 of them in the area. we popped in to one that was the closest. Everything on the menu is 280yen, basically little less than 3 dollers, including draft beer.

Besides those bite size heaven, there were more random stuff such as "chicken and salsa over Naan," "Vietnamese pho with soft egg," etc,,,they were all so so good, we all left very satisfied. Next time I see them will be at the wedding <3

Reversed culture shock


So I originally started this blog a while ago thinking that I should blog about my SF life, but my SF life turned out to be too busy with work and such, it took me this long to even start a blog. I'm not even in SF anymore. I'm in....Japan. Story of my life.

Japan is one of the coolest country, I am realizing this after being away for so long, like, 8.5 years. That's pretty long...but now I look at everything and appreciate it in such a different way, almost like a foreigner who get to live in Japan or something.

So, i am for real gonna start blogging, about my life in Japan.
